I like palys bc they are beautiful in colors and are bulletproof compared to melting zoas

I pass on almost all LIVE SALES on R2R bc like @vetteguy53081 hinted towards....its absolutely ridiculous buying a $39 single polyp zoa/paly that was "supposedly" $69 before the sale. I say Bull & S...

With that said I wait until @CherryCorals semiannual sales for PALYS. He's the only one that has a decent amt of palys in diff colors.

I save my money for @CherryCorals Live Sales

Year and a half ago I spent $600 on zoas from a pretty well known Live Sales Vendor. I dint think I have a single zoa left. They're all melted away with my $600. Never again. 95% of @CherryCorals stuff I've bought *even zias) are still alive.

Ok this is an easy one today BUT special because the world is going to find out who your favorite vendor for buying coral is! You get to share your love with the world and give a nice shout out to your go to coral provider! There is ONE catch though. YOU MUST ONLY NAME ONE!!! Feel free to tag them and maybe they'll hook you up with a free frag! :)

So here is the QOTD!

What vendor/company is your MOST FAVORITE place to buy coral from? (NAME ONLY ONE)

World Wide Cherry Top Shelf Austin Fox Aquatic Farms for me!

Oh man thats a hard one. @TopShelfAquatics has yet to let me down and I know a significant portion of my tank came from them, but @WWC sent me some fire frags in a gold club subscription last year.

Jason Fox. Large frags, clean, pest free, healthy, and reasonable pricing. Even the cut to order Frags I’ve gotten from him have been large.

I get almost all mine from my lfs I truly believe you have to support them or else the hobby will go down hill. However for online if I had to recommend one I'm not sure was pretty happy with the couple I have ordered from.

Locally here in CO I lean towards Biggs lagoon. They seem to actually care and want to share the cool parts of the ocean with you. I haven't met a local seller like them yet. I'm sure the exist.

I just ordered my first corals from online at aquaSD and from what I read I'm expecting a great experience.

When sales bring down online prices to what I consider reasonable I'll buy from pretty much anyone that has a good - great reputation.

I really really like Unique Corals. The best WYSIWYG photos (no oversaturations), free shipping at only $150, only a $15 saturday delivery fee, and they have both named and un-named corals for great prices.

So many cheaters in this thread! One mention of potential free corals and adhering to the "only one" probably became hopeless.:p

@BayouReefer, thanks for letting me know you are giving them a try. I'd like to hear what you think after you get the corals.

I bought some RFAs from them and they were willing to send me picks of some of the prettiest and I picked out the ones I wanted. They treated me very well and that was before I became a member of the Reef Squad.
